How to Make Grilled Turkey Burgers

  1. Prepare the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 pound ground turkey (80/20 blend recommended), 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Gently form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
  4. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Serve immediately on toasted buns with your favorite toppings.
